FW Garden

Did you know there is a vegetable garden at Francis Wyman?  The Victory Garden grows vegetables for the Burlington Food Pantry and there are planting beds for lease.  In the works is a garden for Francis Wyman School.  Today with the help of Mr. Coppola we planted Lincoln and Tom Thumb peas.

Future site of Francis Wyman Garden.

Can you predict the weather with clouds?

Mr. M. taught us how to use clouds to predict the weather that is coming.  

Cirrus Coulds - sunny, nice weather

The sun can shine through cirrus clouds.

Stratus Clouds - cooler, poor weather

Cirrus clouds cover the sky and bring chilly weather.

Cumulus Clouds - warm fair weather

The sun is shining brightly and make the clouds lumpy and puffy.

Cumulonimbus Clouds bring dangerous weather!  The weather is going to be bad, windy and rainy,

Fog clouds are Mr.'s favorite clouds.  It is a cloud that has come to the ground.  Fog clouds block our abilitity to see.  

Mr. M. showed  us how to make a cloud.  Clouds are made up of three ingredients;

water, heat, and cold air.

How to make a cloud.  

1.  Heat up water

2.  Put snow or ice in an aluminum pie plate
